AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Interior with a green window

Technical Data Sheet

Author: Philip Kelly (1950–2010); bottom right signature and dated 1997.
Chronology: 1997
Technique: Oil on panel
Measurements: 30 × 30 cm (artwork) · 38 × 38 cm (framed).
Support: fabric-covered panel on a frame, protected by glass.
Style: Post-Impressionism Fauvist with Matissean resonances.
Condition: excellent; vivid and balanced surface; golden frame with artistic design and strong visual presence.


Compositional and iconographic description

The painting depicts an indoor domestic scene flooded with light, where an armchair, a table with flowers, and a window open to the outside structure the space in planes of vibrant color.

The color palette dominated by emerald greens, blues, and ochre touches creates a modern sense of serenity.
The black stroke that defines contours and the simplification of volumes evoke the graphic synthesis of French Fauvism, while the interplay between interior and exterior enhances the sense of luminous intimacy.

The radiator, the translucent curtain, and the linear details of the furniture create a dynamic visual rhythm that combines order and spontaneity, reminiscent of the poetic interiors of Henri Matisse.


Style, Context, and Comparative Valuation

Philip Kelly, an Irish-born artist with roots in contemporary European art, developed a language of pure color and rhythmic composition that aligns with the principles of Raoul Dufy, Pierre Bonnard, and Jean Metzinger.

In this work, the artist achieves a masterful balance between geometric structure and chromatic lyricism, transforming an everyday corner into a celebration of light and form.

The date of 1997 places the piece in its mature stylistic phase, where Kelly consolidates an intimate and sophisticated aesthetic.

Due to its compositional refinement, the solidity of its stroke, and its affinity with the French Fauvist legacy, Interior with Green Window can be considered a work of high aesthetic and collector interest, representative of European modern sensitivity in the second half of the 20th century.
